It’s been known for a while that DC has wanted to battle Marvel’s cinematic powerhouse, The Avengers, with their own superhero dynamo, The Justice League. Production of a film based on the DC juggernaut title has been in the development stages for a while now. The film is being worked on in the hope of having a release in 2015. Some details have emerged as to how some of the charters would be in the move. As these are mainly rumors, please take any of this with a grain of salt as things can and most likely will change as the movie develops.
• Superman is essentially the same character from Man of Steel, and Zack Snyder is consulting regarding the writing of the character.
• Batman: The strategist of the group. Batman doesn’t really want to be involved with these super powered beings he considers too powerful. Easily the most complex written.
• Wonder Woman: She has only been in man’s world a few short months. The Wonder Woman script MichaelGoldenberg is developing will be set before the Justice League movie.
• Green Lantern: Will be Ryan Reynold’s character from the Green Lantern movie, but will be freshly written with a more serious tone.
• Flash: The most popular hero in civilian eyes who loves media attention, but when called upon is very serious.
• Martian Manhunter: Alien who has lived on Earth in secret for over a hundred years who has knowledge of Darkseid and his reign.
• Aquaman: Will be the King of Atlantis who has a key role in the film.
• There will also be a heavy military presence in the film which in future rewrites could include characters featured in Man of Steel or even Amanda Waller (Angela Bassett) of which neither are included in the first draft.
• Alfred Pennyworth is in the film in a minor appearance.
• Lois Lane is also in the film in a cameo.
• Darkseid’s Elite will be featured who go up against the Justice League early on in the film.
The film is set to be based on Justice League of America 183-185, where the team takes on Darkseid.
